Airports honoured in marketing awards
Brussels Airport was crowned the European winner in the 2010 World Routes Airport Marketing Awards, formally announced this week.
At a ceremony in Vancouver, awards were handed to airports in four regional categories.
Edmonton International Airport won in the Americas, The Asia region honoured Auckland Airport, and Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport collected the award in the African region.
The awards were jointly organised by Routes and OAG and are voted for by the airlines.
David Stroud, senior vice president of Routes Events and member of the awards judging panel, said: “What really sets these awards apart is how accurately they reflect the airlines’ views. Vitally, it is the airlines’ votes that create the shortlist from which the panel selects the winners, and the judging panel itself is made up of airline route development professionals.”
